He had the desire to see the Chief Manager and get caught up on the world's events quickly. When he found her she had been speaking with the elders about some things so he went in to see everyone.

"Well isn't this lucky. Everyone is here. Excellent. We can discuss matters."

"Palace Master? What happened to you?"

"My Universe just began tempering and growing. Is this what you're doing?"

"I'm glad it's not just mine that's doing it then."

"I see that even while I'm suppressing myself this much it can even affect the universe worlds of other Open Heaven Realms."

"Wait? Other?"

"Did you become an Open Heaven realm?"

"I did and did not. You see I had been after something greater. I need to do something that would put me on a level playing field with beings like Senior World Tree. Or Like Elder brother Huang and elder Sister Lan."

"Are you saying there's a realm beyond the 9th order?"

"Oh there is most definitely one beyond it. That's not all though. I had wondered why Great Emperors couldn't be made in your universe. It wasn't until several of my personal disciples had reached this realm that I truly understood it."

"What's the secret?"

"It's rather simple actually. If one refines the highest possible resources. And breakthrough to the Open Heaven Realm the reach a hidden 10 Rank. I have 9 Disciples that have reached this Rank."

"Are you serious? Why did we never notice it before?"

"My guess is that you never had the option to explore it. You see I have an ability that I am now able to demonstrate to you."

Yang Rai showed them how he fused rank 1 materials into rank 2 and even into a tree that produces them endlessly.

"As you can see, my innate ability is what allowed for this type of growth."

"Wait, what you just showed us was your ability. And you said Highest rank… are you saying that you refined these highest rank resource producers yourself?"

"Precisely that. However this ability came with a heavy cost. I could only control a limited amount of energy for a long time. So it took awhile to raise these resource producers to a point where they would be useful to me. Even now I used an amount of highest rank materials that would leave you dumbfounded even knowing that ability of mine."

"So are you this 10th rank? Or something else"

Yang Rai smirked. And pulled out his 9 Disciples who were at that rank. The elders could tell that they would be considered nothing in his eyes.

"World Master, your disciples present have finished practicing our divine abilities."

"Good, I pulled you here so these people could get a grasp of the 10th Rank."
